Barnsley were robbed of all three points last night as referee Mark Clattenburg gifted Sheffield United two very debatable penalty decisions.

Barnsley came unstuck late on in their clash with Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.

A second half strike from Adam Hammill was the difference between the two South Yorkshire sides at the Keepmoat Stadium on Saturday.

As the afternoon looked to be heading for a draw with the Reds having a clear chance to win the game with an Iain Hume penalty, but Jon Macken's last gasp strike at the end of the game gave Barnsley all three points.

Barnsley conceded five in a seven-goal thriller after a spirited performance at Loftus Road.

Barnsley earned their first win of the Championship season after an exhilarating clash at Pride Park.

There was a feeling of optimism with the first game under the watchful eye of Mark Robins, even if the reality was that he would have a lot to do to rectify the issues that have been laid before him.

It was a hugely disappointing afternoon. Barnsley started the game well and were the only team in it, but after Reading equalised they were much the better for the rest of the game.
